Hanoi, Japanese Saijo city beef up cooperation

Chairman of the Hanoi People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Chung
received a delegation from Japan’s Saijo city, led by Mayor Tamai Toshihisa, in
Hanoi on April 27.

At the
meeting, the sides informed each other on their respective socio-economic
affairs.

Mayor Tamai
Toshihisa said his city is home to a large number of small- and medium-sized
enterprises and holds strength in the production of machinery and electronic
components.

He noted
that to boost partnerships with local firms, particularly those in Hanoi, a
Saijo working group was established in Vietnam in April 2015.

He expected
his current visit will pave the way for future cooperation between his city and
Vietnam in general and with Hanoi in particular.

For his
part, Chairman Chung stated Japanese investment is always on top in the local
sectors of industry, agriculture and tourism, adding that the capital city
plans to call for more investment in high-tech farming and biotechnologies.

Chung said
Hanoi wants to step up engagements with Saijo and affirmed to create favourable
conditions for Saijo investors in the city.-VNA
